Definitions
- the invention relates to a voltage supply for a sensor unit, in particular an acceleration sensor unit in an occupant protection system of a motor vehicle according to the Preamble of claim 1.
- FIG. 6 shows a known power supply.
- One with one internal switching frequency working power supply unit 10 is via a line 12 with a sensor unit 14 connected.
- the sensor unit 14 contains, for example Accelerometer as used in occupant protection systems is used by motor vehicles.
- Accelerometer as used in occupant protection systems is used by motor vehicles.
- Such acceleration sensors usually work with a filter with switched Capacity (switched capacitor filter; not shown) and are sensitive to voltage fluctuations, in particular then when their switching frequency matches the switching frequency the power supply unit or a multiple of which matches.
- switched Capacity switched capacitor filter
- the periodic disturbances in particular are for the sensor critical. Noise is not tied to a specific frequency and the switching tips can be done by a simple ceramic capacitor blocked directly at the input of the sensor unit become.
- the is parallel to the output 16 Power supply unit 10 (Fig. 6), its output voltage typically 5 V, in addition to any other components, a smoothing capacitor 18, typically 10 to 100 ⁇ F.
- a smoothing capacitor 18 typically 10 to 100 ⁇ F.
- the Capacitor 22 typically has a capacitance of 10 to 100 nF.
- Next is, especially to suppress the periodic Voltage fluctuations in the rhythm of the switching frequency the voltage unit 10 occur with an LC filter a coil 24 and a capacitor 26 are provided.
- the inductance the coil is typically between 10 and 100 .mu.H; the capacitance of the capacitor is, for example between 10 and 100 ⁇ F.
- the capacitors 18 and 26 are because of their large capacities typically tantalum capacitors.
- the capacitor 22 is typically a ceramic capacitor due to its RF behavior.
- a problem with the circuit according to FIG. 6 is that it is relatively complex because of the LC filtering.
- the invention has for its object a generic To create power supply with high functional reliability can be produced with little effort and inexpensively is.
- the claim 2 is an advantageous development of Power supply according to the invention directed, according to Claim 3 the filter can only have one resistor.
- Claims 4 and 5 characterize further advantageous details.
- the filtered Voltage advantageous as a reference voltage for a microcontroller use the according to claim 7 for conversion the output signals of the sensor unit (s).
- the invention can be used with advantage anywhere where natural frequencies of a power supply unit, which lead to voltage fluctuations, with natural frequencies overlay a sensor unit in an unfavorable way (harmonics).
- the circuit of Figure 1 differs from that of the figure 6 in that the LC filter (24, 26) of FIG a simple ohmic resistor 28 is replaced.
- This Resistance is, for example, at an output voltage of the voltage supply unit 10 of 5 V and for the Switching frequencies and sizes of capacitors 18 and 22, 6, about 10 ohms as described above.
- the resistor 28 Surprisingly turned out to be simple with this Filter in which the resistor 28 with the anyway out Due to electromagnetic compatibility, preferably ceramic capacitor 22 an RC filter forms, voltage fluctuations from the output of the voltage supply unit 10 reduced to a measure which the sensor unit 14 is sufficiently insensitive.
- Diagram A shows periodic voltage fluctuations Output 16 of the voltage supply unit 10, which is shown in the Example an amplitude of 28 mV and a frequency of 100 kHz.
- Diagram B shows the voltage curve at the output (30 (FIG. 1) of the sensor unit 14 at a frequency of approximately 200 kHz, that is to say when the second harmonic is superimposed the switching frequency of the voltage supply unit 10 and the third harmonic of the switching frequency of the sensor unit 14 in the event that there is no filter.
- the Amplitude is about 17 mV.
- To the left of diagram B is Amplitude of the voltage fluctuations in which a generated Acceleration signal distorted by less than +/- 1 digit is specified.
- the diagram C shows a noise at the sensor output 30 without Filters on, in a frequency range in which no harmonics meet or overlap. As can be seen the amplitude prevailing there is not critical.
- Figure 3 illustrates the case where the resistance is used as a filter 28 in combination with the capacitor 22 according to FIG. 1 is provided.
- Diagram A is the same as diagram A of Fig. 2.
- the signal tap of the output voltage of the voltage supply unit 10 is before resistance 28.
- the diagram B gives the amplitude of the signal at the power supply input 20 of the sensor unit 14. As can be seen, the voltage fluctuation compared to the signal curve according to A. reduced, so that the security against interference is increased.
- Diagram C shows the signal curve at output 30 of the sensor unit 14 at a frequency of about 200 kHz and corresponds thus diagram B of FIG. 2.
- the fault at the sensor output is less than +/- 0.5 digit and corresponds approximately to the noise of Fig. 2 C.
- FIG. 4 shows a development of the arrangement in FIG. 1, in which two sensor units 14, 32 of the power supply unit 10 are supplied together. Similar to the sensor unit 14, the sensor unit 32 has for reasons of electromagnetic compatibility, a parallel capacitor 34 connected to its input.
- the Resistor 28 forms together with capacitors 22 and 34 an RC filter.
- the size of resistor 28 is in the case of FIG. 4 preferably half as large as in the case of FIG. 1, i.e. the resistance 28 of FIG. 4 is approximately, for example 5 ohms.
- Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the circuit
- the compared to the embodiment according to FIG. 4 is that parallel to the sensor units 14 and 32 is a microcontroller 36 behind resistor 28 on line 12 lies.
- the microcontroller 36 has a reference voltage input 38 on that of the voltage supply unit 10 is supplied with filtered or smoothed voltage.
- the Filtering is done by means of the resistor 28 and the parallel connection of capacitors 22, 34 and 40, the Capacitor 40 in parallel with the reference voltage input 38 lies.
- the microcontroller 36 contains an A / D converter 42, which in the example shown the analog output signal of the sensor unit 32 is supplied to as a digital output signal to be available for further processing. In the An output line of the sensor unit is not shown in the drawing 14, whose output signal from the microcontroller as well can be converted analog / digital.
- microcontrollers can be provided.
- the capacitors 22, 34 and 40 are the serve together with the resistor 28 for filtering, if possible close to the respective inputs of units 14, 32 and 36 are arranged, thereby increasing their effectiveness with respect to the improvement of electromagnetic compatibility increased. If this spatial proximity is not mandatory for EMU reasons not every sensor unit or everyone is required Microcontrollers have their own capacitor.
